Lockheed C-5B Galaxy, Engines Detailing Sets, Resin & Photoetch, Scale 1:144 (Recommended for kit: Roden) Metallic Details MDR14410 - For Aircraft Model Kits

Metallic Details MDR14410 is a mixed-media engine detailing set for the Lockheed C-5B Galaxy in 1/144, combining 3D-printed resin parts with photo-etched components. The focus is on refining the engine area where intake lips, openings, and small external elements can look soft after paint.

On a C-5B build, the four engines sit prominently under the wing and read as a repeating feature across the model. A dedicated engine set helps keep those four nacelles consistent in shape and alignment, especially when you want cleaner edges around the openings.

For modelers: treat each engine as a separate subassembly and repeat the same steps four times to keep symmetry. Dry-fit the resin parts to the kit nacelles first, then add photo-etched details after the main shapes are aligned. Use a simple spacer or ruler to check that all engine faces sit at the same depth before glue fully cures.

FAQ

Is this set intended for a specific kit?

Yes. The set is recommended for Roden 1/144 C-5B Galaxy kits. Dry-fit the engine parts against the kit nacelles before glue to confirm contact surfaces and depth.

When should I add the photo-etched parts?

Add photo-etched parts after the main resin shapes are seated and aligned. This helps avoid bending delicate pieces while you adjust the core fit.

What is a practical way to keep all four engines consistent?

Build one engine as a reference, then repeat the same step order for the other three. Check that the engine faces sit at the same depth using a straight edge before final cure.
